Opinions of the death of Don Quixote:

 

1. Under the Influence of Cervantes: Tapiello’s Al morir Don Quijote

 

Article by the Dr.Isidoro Arén Janeiro. Here it is very well explained what happens when Don Quixote die, what happened to all the characters. It deals also with the last scene Don Quixote Part 2, when Don Quixote is on his bed prepared to die.

2. The Three Deaths of Don Quixote: Comments in Favor of the Romantic Critical Approach

 

Article by A.G.Loré. It is a very interesting article that explains what the three deaths of Don Quixote are for the writer. The first one, The would-be knight-errant, Don Quixote de la Mancha, fades away. The second one, Don Quixote confesses he was play acting, and the third one, Don Quixote recovers his senses, rejects books of chivalry, and dies among his friends.

3. The democracy of Don Quixote

 

Article by Jonathan Rée. I have found that interesting article about the Democracy of Don Quixote, the third website for my project; it is a very interesting site. That article speaks about a lot of topics, including the death of Don Quixote, and the conclusion of the article is that Don Quixote is a 21st-century novel.

4. The Death of Don Quixote. What Happens When Irony Meets Lucidity

 

It is a very good article, by Timoty Sexton, but from my point of view is very short, but in the last paragraph, the quotation “…Don Quixote dies in spirit the moment he renounces chivalry and dies in flesh not long after. In a way, his death is caused by sudden lucidity and self-awareness of his delusions. This is the deepest and most heartbreaking irony of the story because although we are always aware-sometimes two or three times removed-that he is a figment of the imagination,…” give me ideas to follow searching on the net. Normally the articles on that website are not so short, but that one is very short.
